When a tiny form crashes into me in the alley behind my old haunt, I don’t expect to find a half-dressed human female in my arms. Jenny brings out my instinct to guard and protect. Drunk and eager for a fight, I knock out her attacker and vow to take her home to Reka 5. There’s only one problem: Jenny’s owner wants her back. We wake the next morning with an enormous bounty on our heads. New Rhea is chock full of no-questions-asked mercenaries eager for the credits, but a promise as a promise, and I will get her to freedom. Besides, Jenny is mine. And anyone who wants her will have to get through me first! This is a novella-length stand-alone story set in the Tallean Mercenaries universe. Sweet and steamy scenes ahead. HEA guaranteed!
